said at noon to-day that it had been decided
10 not permit Oscar Neebe to attend the

the police department are to the effect that
fully II, 900 people who sympathize with the
red flag will parade tomorrow, and that
these people, once excited, might commit
some overt act which might result in an
outbreak. and under the circumstances they
have finally decided not to complioate mat
ters by having one of the condemned an

A Now Railroad Move.

CHICAGO, March 10.-The announcement:
was made to-day that the joint western clas-
sitication committee as taken the important
action of establishing double classification
of live stock. In several western states thu
railways are forbidden by law to limit their
liability except as set forth in the official
classification. To avoid this two classified
tions have been nade-one establishing a
high rate when live stock is taken at the car
riers risk, and the other much lower when
transported at the owners risk. This will
enable the roads to meet the liability clause
and arrange their tariff acc ordingly.

II. W. BEECHER DEAD.

The End Accompanied by no Suffering
or Pain.
NEW YORK, March 8.-Henry WARD
Beecher died at $50 o'clock this morning
He began to sink slowly after midnight and
the watchers at his bedside soon saw that
the end was near. He passed quietly away
while asleep. He never recovered con-
seriousness after his paralysis Supplied his
mind. It is, OF course, too early yet to an
nounce anything definite about the funeral,
but the interment will probably be in Green
wood. Beecher never bought lot there,
but his children and ONE Of his grand
children lie on Evergreen hill, on q lot of
Mrs. John T. Howard. Beecher's twin
babies died on the same day, when the
famous preacher was youcg and poor, and
comparatively unknown. He was living at
the time in Howard's house, and was given
space on Evergreen hill. It is possible that
Plymouth church and the citizens of Brook
Ign at large will buy plot of ground and
erect q handsome monument,
DR.. Searle noticed a change in the patients
condition at $3.50 this morning, and sum-
moned all in the house to the bedside,
momentarily expecting his death, but he

imperceptibly, drawing his last breath with
out apparent suffering or return to con-
seriousness in any degree.
Mrs. Beecher bore up wonderfully and
with marvellous courage. No Grape was hung
on the door. Beecher having always objected
to the use of this and the gloom associated
with it in the presence of death. Instead, q
magnificent wreath of flowers was hung from
the left side of the doorway, at the top of
the stoop, composed of red and white roses
and lilies of the valley, tied up with white
satin.
At 1890 it was given out that the funeral
would take place in Greenwood on Thurs
day next. Some time ago 81. Sage, mem
Der of Plymouth church, appropriated, by
will, q sum of money to place a statue of
Beeoher in Prospect Park after his deoease.

to do the work, will call at the house in the
course of the day for the purpose of making
. plaster cast of his features. It is not in
tended that any examination shall be made
of Beecher's brain organism.
The death scene was very affecting. The
family assembled in the sick room awaiting
the ending, and were weeping and sobbin1

of Beecner's hands, and at $50 he said:
